Migrating from Synology to unRAID (data and Docker question)


Recommended Posts

Got a couple of HDDs on the way and I'm planning on throwing them in my old gaming PC and utilizing the existing SSDs in there as cache to create an unRAID server. I have a Synology NAS that was my main server, but I want to make this new unRAID server my main so I'm planning on migrating data and my processes over to it. I've read a couple threads on it, but wanted to make sure I understand the process. For reference: the Synology NAS only has 2 "main" folders: /data (media, etc) and /docker (where the docker-compose files and appdata folders are)

So I am planning on to:

  1. Set up unRAID server and format all the disks
  2. Transfer data from the Synology NAS to the unRAID server
  3. Update file paths and user IDs in the docker-compose files
  4. Docker compose pull and up the containers
  5. Done?

Thank you for reading and helping a complete novice at unRAID (and servers in general).
